a store, studio or café.

You can already prepare the player for some features that will come in the near future. Add your social media profile, your phone number or website to the SoniQR system and this information will be shown while a new song is loading.
The Unique Charm of Independent Music holds a special place in the retail environment,
offering a breath of fresh air amidst the commercial tracks that often dominate the space.
In stores, where the familiar tunes of mainstream hits are a common backdrop,
the inclusion of independent music not only enriches the customer's experience but also
supports the indie music scene.
Offering independent music in retail settings serves as a platform for emerging artists
to gain exposure. It allows customers to discover new and potentially inspiring music
they might not encounter elsewhere. Moreover, it reflects the retailer's commitment to
diversity and cultural richness, distinguishing them from competitors who may stick to
a more conventional soundtrack.
In essence, independent music in retail is more than just background noise; it's a statement
of support for the arts, an enhancement of the customer experience, and a celebration of
musical diversity.
In the bustling aisles of a boutique, the hum of creativity intertwines with the rustle of fabric.
The eclectic mix of indie tunes provides a unique backdrop for shoppers. For an independent musician,
this is more than mere background noise — it's a canvas. Unlike mainstream radio stations,
where chart-toppers dominate, these retail spaces offer a blank slate. Your music becomes part of
the store's identity, woven into the fabric of its ambiance. Imagine your soulful music accompanying
a customer's fitting room experience or your upbeat track setting the rhythm for a spontaneous
dance between clothing racks. In these intimate settings, your sonic brushstrokes leave an indelible mark.
Boutiques, tattoo studios, and skateshops are curated havens. These spaces foster a sense of community,
and your songs become part of that shared experience. Customers ask, "Who's this artist?" and the shop
owner becomes your unofficial promoter. Word-of-mouth spreads like wildfire, and your indie tunes gain
traction.
On the technical side, in the near future the statistics of the music played through SoniQR will be
accessible to everyone directly throught he SoniQR website. This way musicians get an overview on
where on this planet in what kind of store their music has been played and downloaded.
What makes all of this so special from the client's side, is the type of bond you create through SoniQR,
by offering new types of music, especially when it can be downloaded legally and for free.
Apart of a free give-away, your clients will connect downloaded music on their phones
with the shopping experience they had with you - carrying it always with them on their phone and this
memorable musical experience contributes to customer loyalty and repeat visits.
And by using legally obtained music, they can share these files with as many people the like
by also commenting on how and where they got that song from.
You will need a stable internet connection and you must be registered with SoniQR. Currently the registration only works manually. At your location you will need at least a Bluetooth loudspeaker or even better, a PA system that will be connected to the tablet that SoniQR is running on.
